Synthingie

A python based audio synth thingie

Install

We need this package to install the player. Ideas on how to avoid it are welcome.

Ubuntu and friends: $ sudo apt install portaudio19-dev

for mac/osx: $ brew install portaudio

Pip install from repo until i do a release.

$ pip install git+https://github.com/luciotorre/synthingie.git

If you want the full interactive experience you need to install some bokeh stuff for jupyter lab:

$ sudo apt install npm nodejs
$ pip install jupyterlab
$ jupyter labextension install @jupyter-widgets/jupyterlab-manager
$ jupyter labextension install @bokeh/jupyter_bokeh

Example

import synthingie as st

wave = st.Sin(2500, 0.2)
gate = st.NaiveSquare(5, amplitude=0.5) + 0.5

pedestrian = wave * gate

st.play(pedestrian)
